What does your program offer that residents can’t get anywhere else?
As an established program for almost 40 years, we offer the time-tested experience of what it takes to create board-certified emergency physicians. As the state’s only Level I trauma center, children’s hospital, Level IV NICU, and organ transplant center, we are unopposed in our ability to meet the needs of our patients.
We also offer fellowships in Critical Care (medical and surgical), Medical Toxicology, Medical Education, Sports Medicine, Emergency Medical Services, and Pediatric Emergency Medicine, all accompanied by a residency fellowship track. Shifts at our community EM site, UMMC Madison, are integrated throughout the curriculum so that residents can experience a blend of community practice alongside quaternary care academic practice. We also recently opened our new OB/GYN emergency department to better serve this high-risk patient population. UMMC Jackson and Madison truly are diamonds in the rough. We offer a “Michelin star” training experience in a rather unassuming location that competes with any EM program in the country. Over the last four decades, our residents have taken their training all over the country and internationally. We are excited to share our historic legacy with the next generation of emergency physicians!
